Tips for Maximizing Reception
Mount the antenna on a window that faces the broadcast tower of stations that you want to receive. The sides of the antenna may not “see” enough signal from the broadcast tower if the sides of the antenna face the tower.
If the antenna is mounted so that it lies flat (e.g. on a table), the cable should line up with the signal.
If the antenna is mounted so that it hangs vertically, the coax cable should run from the top or bottom of the antenna.
Electronics may reflect the signal from the broadcast tower. If so, try mounting the antenna higher on the wall, and run a new channel scan. The higher the antenna, the better signal you will receive.
